Ranjith’s Castle

I was wondering how everything works the right way when everything is out sourced in US.

Last week, I had a problem in the Internet connection in my hotel  where I stay. I called up the reception and told them about the problem. They simply told me to contact the number present in one of the pamphlets for the Internet. It seems that the problems needs to be posted to the person who has sourced the Internet for the hotel.

Even the Laundry machines have only customer care numbers where we need to post issues in case of any problem you faced. I don’t know how everything works in a perfect way when everything is outsourced.

In India, when you take a hotel/companies, a few for example house keeping or security may be out sourced. Every thing else will be in house.

I was talking about his one of my friend here. The reason seems to be valid and simple. Here every one works only a temporary basis. You can see new faces everyday on the reception. They just come and go and it is not possible to do things in house as you cannot have a person whom you can give responsible for.

In India, it is the other way, the longevity is the first question you ask the person joining a job and the second being the ability to handle such situations.

Sound interesting.

Last week One of my friend tried hacking his iphone 3 G for adding some more software to it. After a couple of strong fight with the Jail Break, he got an Pine Apple with a end bitten, just similar to the Apple Logo.

I am wondering whether the logo comes from the Jail Break software or the Apple itself to say that the Hardware is not at the state it has to be.

Interesting Logo change. Appreciate the person behind the concept.

Male Chauvinism is one of the interesting stuff to listen to between couples. Whenever the wife says that you should do this, the male will not do it. But will do it if he is not advised by the female counterpart.

I experienced a related behavior when I was on my way home last night. I was driving my bike and was hanging my dinner bag on my left side of the handle bar. Since the handle is of Butterfly type, the hand needs to be held on the handle without moving it to keep the bag against a fall. It was so inconvenient for me to drive a couple of KMs in that mode. But the usual way I drive is my hands put on the handle firmly.

When you are put on a check even for your normal behavior, it seems that your mind will tend to violate from the normal. I believe the female species in the world also will have the same kind of behavior when put on a Check.

I was analysing some of the happenings around me with respect to the people around me and the mistakes we do. I segregate this into four categories.

Mistake is not a mistake - Person close to you makes a mistake. It will not be felt and it does not seem to be a mistake. This will be forgiven even if it affects you directly.

Mistake goes unnoticed - Person not so close to you makes a mistake. If it does not affect you directly, then the mistake is left with the saying, “These are normal things that happen in life”.

Mistake gets noticed - Person not close to you makes a mistake and that affects you. You get a little angrier and say, “You should have avoided doing that.”

Mistake is a Mistake - When a person you hate makes a mistake which does not affect you. You say, “I know about this guy, he is capable of doing all mistakes.”

Mistake is a problem - Person you hate makes a mistake and it affects you. You know what you will say or do.

Mistakes gets suppressed when the person move towards your inner circle.

What do you say ?

I read about http://www.88888.co.in/ the site that insist you to cut off all your electricity usage for 8 minutes on 8/8/8 at 8 PM. I think we should take this movement seriously and do this. I hate things that are always associated with a day.

Father’s day / Mother’s day - Do you think of them only on those days. You think about them all days.

In the similar fashion, it will be good to extend this to all days. You can try the following:

• Try to sleep one day night without Air conditioners if you are a regular user of it.
• Try to switch off all your fans, keep your beds arranged near the open windows for one day.
• Stop keeping electric appliance like Television in the standby mode.

We can have a long growing like this.

Let us give the globe a longer life !!!
